What started out as a gardening blog and the title derived from that it was making a bigger mess to clean up the yard, it fit well. Now as I'm working on this to someday be a small business of using my herbs and garden produce, I am adding my other crafts to the blog as well. Enjoy!

Getting an early start on some late start on others

I started planting my seed starts about a month ago and found old plastic containers to use for "Hot beds". We've had several storms in the last three weeks that have caused a lot of rain fall and some chilling nights. I went out to look at the "beds" when the sun started peaking through the sky and saw some starting to sprout up.

I'm thinking of finding someone one with a rotertiller to dig up my garden this year. Once its dug up I can work in it. I'm getting a late start on that as I want to put some screen under about 6 in of dirt before I start planting or transplanting to keep the gophers from digging it up. I have old pallets that I can tear apart to make larger beds to screen over my beans, peas and tomatoes. I still want to do the square gardening as I get more room in my small space.
